Micheletto Corella

Micheletto Corella (1470-1506) was a Spanish condottiero and executioner who worked for the House of Borgia, as the right-hand man of Cesare Borgia.

Biography
A deadly import from Valencia, Spain, he grew up with Cesare Borgia, slightly his elder and always his protector. Not only Cesare's personal executioner, he was also a condottiero, leading armies for Ceare and, at one point, he was the governor of Piombino.

During his life, he was the executioner for Borgia, carrying out the kills that Ceare ordered. His most important kills were: And many more occurred that go unrecorded here. Micheletto was notorious for strangling his victims quietly and disposing of the bodies. In 1503 he was tasked with the execution of Pietro Rossi, an actor who was having an affair with Lucrezia, who was also having an affair with her own half-brother Cesare. However, he failed to kill him, as he was stabbed by Ezio Auditore da Firenze, who needed the key to the Castel Sant'Angelo. He was spared because killing him would lead to Ezio's downfall.

Micheletto left Rome, and he returned with a large army. But by then Cesare, who had killed his father the Pope, had been pushed to the gates of the city. Cesare's last followers were killed and he was arrested by Fabio Orsini for murder, betrayal, and incest. Micheletto fled but was captured and held in Florence. With the help of some prisoners, he escaped jail and headed for Spain.

Death
Corella succeeded in freeing Cesare from his prison in Valencia, but their troops were broken by an attack by a pursuing Ezio Auditore da Firenze and the Assassins. Corella and Borgia headed to the Lone Wolf Inn, where Borgia said that Corella failed him. An enraged Micheletto attacked Cesare, but Cesare reached for his pistol and shot Micheletto in the head.
